How's this for coincidence, in light of the previous posts on glocal interrelationships, PETs carbon offset strategy for emitters here in Scotland: an article came out mid July about more needed farming support for India, via among other things more, clean & cheaper energy. This is one of PETs 4 non-UK
Meat on the bone
While volunteering with PET last week, I was struck by a point made in the NFD Energy Master Plan 2021 about bringing PETs carbon offset projects closer to home -- Scotland.

As people assess how the pandemic has impacted their career, community, and local economy, what opportunities are there for us? We need not limit ourselves to the work we’ve always done — especially if it’s something that can be fine-tuned with the right combination of technology and human ingenuity to
Positive April
April is a special month--the first month of our financial year. As we come to the end of it and of 15months of dealing with a globally developing virus, I'd like to do some positive, associative thought provocation using a chronological sample of April's International Days... #Conscience day -
